Cilantro Recipes

I can't remember which blog I found this salsa recipe on, but it is AWESOME!

D's Famous Salsa

2 (14.5 oz) cans stewed tomatoes
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tsp salt
1/4 c. canned sliced green chiles, or to taste
3 T. chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 can jalepenos (If you like it hot)
1 tsp of cumin (I added this on my own)

From my friend Christie's recipe blog:

Cafe Rio Tomatillo Dressing

Cafe Rio Chicken

From Paul's Mom:

Black Beans

1 Large can of black beans, rinsed and drained

1-1/2 c. tomato juice

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tsp ground cumin

2 T. olive oil

1-1/2 tsp salt

2 T fresh, chopped cilantro

In a nonstick skillet, saute garlic and cumin in olive oil over medium heat until you can smell it. Add beans, tomato juice and salt. Continually stir until heated through. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro.

Lime Rice (like Cafe Rio's)

1 T. Butter

1/2 of a yellow onion, chopped

4 cloves of garlice, chopped

3 1/2 C. water
